RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.
How the Truth About TherM Us Suppressed
Tsy Railway Officials.


Isy Railway Officials.
You that happen to be riding on {,
railroad train this morning, wish to
drop few words into your ear.
don't understand one very remarkable
thing about the nanagem ent Of rail-
roads. If an accident should occu1
while am talking 20 you, and you
should be torn into shreds and scat
tered over three counties, do you know
what the managers Of the railroad
would do? They would Go every thing
in their power to prevent the d. sails Of
the accident from becoming known to
the public. This is the one thing !
don't understand. In recent years
railroad managers have grown more
and more secretive. about accidents.
When one occurs a mighty "Hush'' ia
flashed along the wires TO every agent.
Immediately after, Beware Of news
paper reporters is flashed along. Do
YOU know that railroad employe i
made TO understand that the most helm
Gus sin he can commit is to breath even
single word concerning railroad ac-
cident? Whether you know it or not,
it is true. You see, there is reason,
known only to railroad managers, why
accidents should not be made public. ]
have heard it whispered that they are
afraid to make them public because Of
possible injury to the railroad business.
# this be the reason, then I think rail
road managers should be taught that
they are sadly mistaken. Suppose a
case. Suppose two trains should col.
lide on bridge and that the shock
should tear down the bridge, complete
ly blocking the railroad for several
days. Suppose all news of the acci-
dent should be suppressed and the un.
suspecting public should 60 on pur-
chasing tickets and shipping perishar
BILE freight. Wouldn't it be reasonable
to suppose that the public would be
greatly incensed when it discovered
how it had been imposed upon? The
public certainly would be greatly In
censed, just as it has been times out OF
number. Suppose little more. Sup.
pose a newspaper reporter-as he
doubtless would-should receive some
shadow OF information about the acei-
dent. Unable to obtain the details, he
would do just as has been done hun
dreds of times; he would print a story
composed chiefly of rumors and con-
lectures. Rumors and conjectures,
have noticed, are always more damag-
ing to railroads than the ungarbled,
unvarnished truth.--Atzaata (Ga.)

Oonnell MacGsoghegan.

The exact date OF the birth OF THIS
eminent writer, who was relative OF
Able NlacGeoghegan, is not known,
but his literary activity was at its best
in the wear 1927. His residence was at
Lisn1oyne, in The parish Of Horseleap'
.,arony of Moycashell, Westmeath. In
The wear mentioned, 1922, he translated
from the original Gaelic q very I'M
nortant book of chronicles, 1.-The An
nails CT Clonmacnoise.' The original
has been lost. It brought the history
down to the year 1927; but MacGeoghe-
gan continued il to 1903. Beyond th'S'
not a single fact OF MacGeoghegan $
life has survived the chances and
changes of two hundred ana slxty
wears. OF the merit Of his work the
following testimony has been given oy
John C'Donovan: "Th!s work IS OF
great value, as 1T contains exact yer
sions in English OF all the peculiar
;diorns and phrases which occur in the
various Irish Annals"

Legend Of the Rock Of 0ashel.

In Che Book Of Drom Sneachta, a very
ancient chronology, is given the follow
ing account Of the discovery Of the
Rock of Cashel. One day two swine
herds fed their pigs in the woods sur
rounding the palace of Core, the son of
I.uighaidh, King of Munster. The one
belonged to the King of Ellie, the other
To the King of Muskerry. They had
been occupying rising slope for some
tirne. when on sudden there appeared
TO them figure bright as the sun, with
voice Of wooing cadence, which fell
OH the ears with the ripple OF distant
melody. 1t seemed to noaE about them
to per1neate The very atmosphere, and
to penetrate tbeir hearts. It's EXPIRES
sion was the subljmest Of music; and
as the sweet sound rose upon the air
and died away the sWineherds heard
prophetic musings that foretold a not
distant day when another greater than
the figure would come after on that
spot and bless the country and her
people Then they understood that the
figure WAS Victor, and that he prophe-
sled the coming Of st. Patrick. Ac-
cordingly, Oh thsir ,eturn hotne they
told the wonderful thing they had seen
and heard to their respective kings,
WHO in turn communicated the joyful
tidinss 10 Gore, King OF Munster.
Whereupon Core Immediately Set about
building a fortress in honor Of the
event which be called Carraig phad-
ruig, and as it was here chat he re
ceiyeG his rents or tributes. it came in
course of time TO be called Caiso,l Or
Cios;,il. which means the Rock Of the
Rent Irish World.

Immediate Relief Secured by B. Complete

In serious burn, as soon as the fire
is extinguished the clothes must be re-
moved. Ii not already thoroughly wet,
The injured part should be drenched
with water and the clothes cut away.
Everything must be sacrificed TO get
Ting them off without pulling, as the
slightest dragging brings the skin, too.
If patches OF the clothing adhere and
will not drop off, they must be allowed
to remain, Dip cloths in 81 thick snlu~
ton Of common baking soda water
and lay them over the burnt
surface, bandaging lightly to
keep them in place. As soon as
a dry spot appears on this dressing, wet
il with the soda and water by squeezing
some on it. There will be no sr1aarting
while it is saturated and excludes the
air. IF a rubber sheet is not att hand,
piece Of oil cloth, a gossamer cloak, or
any waterproof article, can be spread
on the bed with blanket over it to re-
ceive the sufferer IF the feet are cold,
heat should be applied to them and a
little atirnulant given il the pulse is
weak. The bed~covering should be
warm and light a doctor should be
sent for as soon as possible. The gray
ity of a burn is in proportion to the sur
face involved. A deep burn is much
less serious than o. superficial one twice
th9 size. Pam is good sign
in severe burns; it shows that there
is still vitality to suffer, Scalds can be
treated in ths same way. In slight
cases painting the surface with thick
mucilage will sometimes give relief, or
pouring oil over it and then covering it
with coating Of -four. Anything that
etfectually excludes the air will relieve
the pain. Persons suffering from these
accidents should have concentrated
nourishing food and as much of it as
they can take with ease. Nature has
large repairs to make and must be pro-
yided with material to carry them on.
The doctor will prescribe opiates as
needed; it is not safe for an unprofes-
sional person to meddle with them

Scarcity Of German Humor.

German humor is not always up to
the standard of even German critics;
witness the experience OF a Berlin pub
fishing house which offered some time
ago three prizes of together 9, 900 marks
for the best humorous novel, story and
feu;lzetoas. Prof. Geerg Ebers, DR..
Ernst Eckstein, Robert Hamerling and
six other literary celebrities being the
judges. OF more than hundred
humorous feuizletoass received in COM
petition not one was adjudged worthy
OF the prize Of 500 marks, which has
since been distributed by the publish
ing house that offered it among two lit
erary and journalistic associations OF
Berlin. The prizes for the humorous
story and the novel are still to be
awarded.-M r Post.

THE eoNAPARTEs.
Prominent Members of the Family Who

Prominent Members of the Family Who
Lived in the United States.
The first Bonaparte who lived in
America was Joseph, the eldest Of the
family, who was from 1906 to 1908
King Of Naples, and from 1903 until
1873 King Of Spain. After the over
throw Of Napoleon I. at Waterloo, Jo-
seph Bonaparte sought refuge in the
United States. residing at Bordentown,
n. J.. for eleven years. He returned
to Europe in 1926 and died in Florence
in 1874. remember as q boy, with
what awe looked at the house in Bor-
dentown where the ex-King Of Spain, a
Bonaparte, had resided, although then
for years he had returned across the
water. The second Bonaparte who
lived in America was Charles Lucicn,
the Prince Of Canine, and the father
Cardinal Bonaparte. In 1922 he mar
lied Zenade, the daughter Of Joseph,
and went to the United States where
for some time he resided with his
father-in-law ut Bordentown, n. j.
While in America he gave himself up
to ornithological and other natural his
tory studies. He thus wandered over
our country from Florida to New I'm
gland, making perhaps, his longest So
journ in Florida, where, I believe, he
invested in real estate. In 1925 he
published in Philadelphia american
Ornithology,' and in 1926 .tThe Or
anthology Of North AMERICA which
were esteemed the best works of the
kind at the time, and are to-day au-
tilority in some things, although the
great work of Audubon, ''The Birds Of
America published in England from
1880 to 1880, has somewhat eclipsed
the volume Of Charles Lucien Bona
parte. When he returned to
Europe he took up his residence
in Rome, where he had been edu-
Gated, and reproduced in Italian the
works already mention ed, and also
published in the same language several
new scientific volumes, original and in
terestjng, such as the ''Comparative
oiH1tlAoioSy Va Aeolno f1AA AhAlsI"ol~
pl.ia, {" ''rhe Italian Fauna" and the
classification of Vertebrate Animals, !"
etc. He became somewhat mixed UP
with the politics of Rome in 1847-49,
but left them before the fall Of the
republic in 1849, aud took up his resi-
dence in Paris, where he lived "a retired
life, and devoted himself to those
studies which had placed him in the
first rank Of zoologists. He died in
1857. He left q family of six children,
all of whom, except the eldest son,
married into the first Roman princely
families. The eldest son is, as I have
stated, Cardinal Bonaparte, who is the
living head Of the elder Branch OF the
Bonapartes. Cor. Pty2'5s american Beg

MRS. HETT.E GREEN.

Woman Who, Although Rolling In
Wealth, Is Poorer Than Her Kitchen
Girl.
Mrs. Hettie Green, the New York
Wall street speculator and millionaire,
has often been mentioned, but, per-
haps, the readers would like TO know
more about the strange parsonage.
She is the sharpest woman on Wall
street, and, perhaps, the richest woman
in New York. She is over forty-fve
years old and she numbers her for
tune by as many millions as there are
years in her life. Her mother was
somewhat of an heiress, and her father
had increased the family pile to So,
100000 at the time of his death.
This fortune Hettie, as the
only child, inherited, and she
at once went to work to increase it.
Much of her fortune was invested in
shi ps, but these she considered danger
GUS and sold them and placed the pro-
ceeds in good interest-paying mort.

ing about and Investigating the securi-
ties for herself. Shortly after her
fathers death {, maiden aunt of hers
died and LETT her $4, 600, 900 more. The
$13,0O0,000 that Hettie Green thus In
herited she had Increased by careful
speculation to about $20 100000 at the
time she married E. Fl Green, OF New
York. Miss Hettie had an ante~nuptia]
contract with him, whereby he agreed
20 pay all of the household expenses,
and to leave her property of $20,000,-
900 and more in her own name. After
her wedding she kept up her business
work, and through her husband got
into Wall street speculation. She did
the speculating herself, however, and
made while her husband lost. She
could buy large blocks Of stock and
would bull and bear the market as she
thought best. She had made money
right along, and is now said to be
worth forty-odd millions. She is very
economical withal, and though her in
come must be several millions year,
her total household expenses are II,

way in q fve~cent bus, carrying per.
haps $1,000 in her reticule, and she
used to walk to parties through the
snow, pulling old woolen stocking:
over her shoes to keep her feet dry
and save buying rubbers. When she
got to the place of entertainment she
would pull Off her socks and hang
them on the hat~rack to dry: She kept
her silver and securities at John Cisco's
bank, and the bankers say she came
periodically to the bank. with a box Of

took two cabs TO carry away the plate,

THE BEAUTIFUL SNOW.
A Carefully Compiled Selection of Prov

A Carefully Compiled Selection of Prov
erbs Having Reference to 1t.
There are many Of these. Some nave
relation to signs by which the number
of storms during the season are to be
calculated, and others to the number
Of storms in the following winter, while
still others claim a connection between
the moon and the SNOW. Passing by
these, it may be interesting to have a
selection OF the proverbs which seem to
have foundation in fact.
Snow is generally preceded by a gem
eral animation OF man and beast,
which continues until after the snow
fall ends.
When the first snow remains on the
ground some time in places not ex-
posed to the sun, expect hard winter.
When the first snow falls dry it means to lie,
But flakes light and soft bring rain oft.
Burning wood in winter pops more before snow.
When dry leaves rattle on the trees expect
snow.
When in the ditch the snow doth lie,
'Tis waiting for more by and ny.
It takes three cloudy days to bring q
heavy snow.
IF the SNOW fakes increase in size q
thaw will follow.
IF there is no snow before January
there will be the more snow in March
and April,
In March much snow,
10 plants and trees much woe.-Ge7aa1n.
The more snow the more healthy Che
season.
Heavy snow in winter favors tbs
crops Of the following surnmer.
Snow is poor mans fertilizer, and
good crops will follow q winter Of
heavy snowfall.
If much snow be spread on the
mountains in winter, the season Of
planting will be made blue with YER
dure.-lndiG1a.
A heavy fall of snow indicates q
good year for crops, and light fall
the reverse.
Much sleet in winter will be followed
by good fruit year.-Bostos Journal
